Expert Solution
Introduction

The goods market equilibrium is at the point where the Y that is income is equal to the sum of consumption level, investment expenditure, and the level of government spending or expenditure in the economy. 

Y=C+I+G

part (d)

Goods market,

Y=C+I+GY=0.3+0.8Y-2.5+3.5-50i+30.2Y=4.8-50i

For money market equilibrium, 

MD=MS

Therefore,

2+0.2Y-50i=350i=0.2Y-1i=0.2Y-150

Now, putting this value of the interest in the goods asset market equation because for equilibrium the goods markets must intersect the asset market,

0.2Y=4.8-50i0.2Y=4.8-50×0.2Y-1500.2Y=4.8-0.2Y+10.4Y=5.8Y=14.5

i=0.2Y-150i=0.2×14.5-150i=2.9-150i=0.038

Therefore, Y is 14.5, and the interest rate is 3.8%

Using these values consumption and investment will be,

C=0.3+0.8Y-2.5C=0.3+0.814.5-2.5C=9.9

I=3.5-50iI=3.5-50×0.038I=1.6

Now,

Y=C+I+G

Left-hand side equal to 14.5 as calculated

Right-hand side,

=9.9+1.6+3=14.5

Yes, the sum of consumption, investment, and government expenditures are adding up the same as equal to the level of income.
